Billy O'Mahony
Billy O’Mahony, who opened Pet Essentials in November 2005, has a BSc (Hons) Food Science degree from UCC as well as a Diploma in Management from DIT. Billy’s interest in pet nutrition saw him join premium pet food manufacturer Royal Canin where he undertook training at the Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition. His experience here was invaluable and a perfect platform from which to launch his Pet Essentials brand. This is Bobby, Billy’s Bichon Frise/Maltese cross, part of our new product testing team.
Olivia Nyhan
Our Manager, Olivia Nyhan, joined the Pet Essentials team in 2012 and has gained invaluable experience completing various online Nutritional Training courses as well as an online Veterinary Assistant Course. Her two dogs George and Daisy relish the challenge of testing new toys or tasting new treats. This is George (Rottweiler) when he was just 12 weeks old.
